Daai Blues het ‘n giftige agterlyn!..Wulf, Toeava, Stanley, Rokocoko, Brett..eish!
Thanks RP
#45 Tripples, dit voel soos toe my ma my mond met engelse sout uitgespoel het!..lol
44: OK, vervelige sport daai. Toemaar, ons Banana Banana span behoort gou uitgeskakel te word, dan is al die ‘hype’ gou verby.
Polla, Canes se agterlyn is net so giftig.
06:00 The kick is good and the Blues now lead by 4
05:00 TRY BLUES – Stephen Brett powers through the defence to score next to the posts. The Blues lead with the kick to come
03:00 The kick is good from Ripia and the Hurricanes lead by 3
02:00 a big hit from Conrad Smith has turn possession over. The Blues are penalised for obstruction and the Hurricanes have opted to kick for goal 40m out
00:00 Thank you for joining us for this match between the Blues and the Hurricanes. Conditions are perfect. The Hurricanes have kicked off and action is under way here at North Harbour Stadium.
7 Willie Ripia misses a penalty attempt from 35m out. Ref Stuart Dickinson is taking no nonsense at the ruck. Off you’re off your feet, you WILL pay.
5 CONVERSION, BRETT. 7-3. Full marks so far for the Blues new signing.
4 TRY, BLUES, BRETT. 5-3. Great try from the fly-half, slicing through the ‘Canes defence off a line-out, making Scott Waldrom look silly, finishing under the post
3 PENALTY, HURRICANES, RIPIA. 0-3. Willie Ripia bisects the uprights from 40m
2 Here we go! The 2010 season is underway. A bit of early ping-pong and Stephen Brett finds a good touch. Weepu skies one after the line-out, Ranger tries to run it back and get slammed by Conrad Smith! Penalty to the ‘Canes for offside.
0 Of course everyone is talking about the new law interpretations. It’s hope we don’t see too many penalties early on. The conditions are perfect for rugby here, a sunny early evening and a fantastic looking surface. Here come the teams, with former Crusader Stephen Brett at fly-half for the Blues.
0 Somebody pinch me! Could it be? Really? The Super 14 is here! Round One offers up a whole host of local derbies starting with our game today here in Albany. It’s the Blues v the Hurricanes. Hold onto your hats, it’s time to get dirty!
#52 Ek stem, Senters en heelagter is goed. Ek dink net die Blues het “overall” ‘n beter gebalanseerde agterlyn.
OK, registered the lot of you… you also Snoek… and picked for you Snoekie
7 – 6
9 PENALTY, HURRICANES, RIPIA. 7-6. The ‘Canes kicker finds the mark this time. Blues over the top at the ruck.
Thanks GBS, jou ou doring.
11:30 The Blues get lucky from their own sloppy line out and are now 30m away from the Hurricanes’ try line.
